Securing the future: developing and retaining talent in site selection
Main Session Organizers: Klaus Fischer-Appelt, Oliver Czaikowski, Susan Britz, Sarah Weihmann
This session aims at identifying innovative approaches to sustain and advance careers within the site selection sector. How can skill development, leadership training, mentoring, and creating an inclusive culture attract and retain top experts? What educational structures, backgrounds and qualifications are necessary for success in this field? We will examine innovative approaches, technical and academic trainings, as well as the role of industry collaboration in preparing the workforce.

Proposed on behalf of the Deutsche Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Endlagerforschung (DAEF), this session will draw on DAEF’s expertise along with insights from external participants. Join us to share insights and strategies for building strong career pathways that keep talent engaged and committed to the field.
